# Batch render and export

Rendering the same video in five sizes and formats is pure clicking

These tools queue renders, convert files and make platform versions for you, or run the same render steps across many projects

## Real examples

* Built a Claude chat for Resolve using samuelgursky's Resolve MCP server as his starting point. It was best at bulk jobs like flagging every clip shorter than 50 frames or splitting the media pool into timelines by file name, and slower than clicking for one off tasks (Poul Waligora, head of post production at ACN International, runs Wild Lion Media, Wild Lion Media blog 2026-04-03: https://wildlion.media/claude-davinci-resolve/)
  > Simple, repetitive tasks are fast as hell, but more complex work is still slow enough that you spend more time waiting and debugging than actually saving time
* Uses ffmpeg-skill on talking head videos with a webcam or screen recording picture in picture, which also get reframed, captioned, loudness normalized and exported for a platform, and asked for that whole job to fit in one project file (rymalia, GitHub user, GitHub issue 2026-10-12: https://github.com/kajisho5/ffmpeg-skill/issues/326)

## Ideas to try (ideas, not user reports)

* Ask the agent to check a timeline against the client's delivery spec before you render
* Have it make the 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 versions from one master and name the files the way the client wants
